Hello,
Thanks for the query,
The symptoms occur due to condition known as Tardive dyskinesia is a neurological disorder consisting of abnormal, involuntary body movements caused by certain medicines.

The factors most commonly associated with tardive dyskinesia include:-

Antipsychotic medicines

Antiemetic medicines

Alcoholism .

Tricyclic antidepressants

Consult your doctor / neurosurgeonfor for proper diagnosis and rule out condition like bell's palsy . or to findout if there is any drug that is causing problem.

Doctor may give Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections , which is known to be very effective in this case


Wishing you a good health.
Thank you
